Child Dental Care

Which is the right age for the child to undergo dental check-up ?

If we notice decay, can we treat the child like normal adults ?

It is very difficult to treat children under 5 years in the dental chair. The child will be paranoid seeing the armamentarium. However, some children can be managed if the procedure is very simple.

If lots of procedures need to be done, how to go about ?

If the child requires time consuming procedures, the most ideal thing would be to treat under General anesthesia (GA).

How safe is GA for children ?

Considering today’s standard of health care in most hospitals, GA is absolutely safe. The procedure is done in a reputed hospital under the supervision of the anesthetist, medical personnel and skilled assistants with all the necessary back-up in case of any emergency.
